Savvy? Coolio! Talk 2 ya:) :) :)

Remus was sitting at a table near the back of the pub waiting for Tonks. For a Wednesday night the place was fairly jointed. Since it was only five weeks to Christmas and the shops remained open later than usual, many dropped by for a quick night cap or in the case of many to add some warmth to their ice cold bodies. At 8:05 the pub door was blown open by a severe gust of perishing wind and in stepped Tonks. Most of the pub peered around to gaze at what looked like an ice statue come to life. Her hands looked almost blue, they were glued together by the bitter frost. Her face was practically paralysed from the severe winter wind and her teeth were chattering ninety miles to the gallon. She was wearing navy jeans with pearl white boots and a ruby red turtleneck and a waist length navy, nylon jacket. Her hair for now was shoulder length, laired, golden blonde. Remus saw her come in but wasn't sure that it really was her. Tonks scanned the pub for any sign of Remus and after a short while saw him scrutinizing her from the back. She smiled and walked over to him. Immediately he began smiling to himself and thinking….."Oh my god she is so beautiful….."

"Wotcher Remus…." Tonks said gleefully. Remus got up.

"Tonks……" He kissed her lightly on the lips……."It is so good to see you…"

"Ya you and all Remus…."She replied unzipping her jacket and taking it off to hang it on the back of the chair. Remus rushed behind her to pull it out for her.

"Here allow me….." She smiled fondly at him saying……

"The perfect gentleman…." She sat down as he smiled abashed.

"What can I get you? Butterbeer……fire whiskey….?"

"Oooh I would love a fire whiskey but I have an exam in the tomorrow so I think I should stick with the butterbeer."

"Alright….one butterbeer coming up…"

"Thank you Remus…."She said relieved to be inside and sitting down. He smiled at her before ordering at the bar. For those short few seconds that they were apart the only though running through Tonks mind was…..

"Oh God please don't wake me up from this dream. He is just too perfect to be true."

"Right….there you go Tonks." Remus said putting a jug of butterbeer on the table. She smiled appreciatively at him. "Thank you Remus…"

She grabbed the jug with both hands that were now wrapped in her sleeves and took a few sips from it.

"Hmmm……now that has got to be the one of the best remedies for cold weather that man ever created." She said putting the jug on the beer mat. Remus smiled curiously as he asked…

"Well what is the other?" She tucked some stray strands behind her ear coyly as she said…..

"Ummm…..quite possibly men but Ill get back to ya." They both laughed lightly.

"So is tomorrow your first exam then?" Remus asked anxiously. Tonks who was holding the jug, rolled her eyes and nodded. She then put the jug down and said….

"Ugh…..God please Remus don't mention it. I am freaking out enough as it is so don't you go harping on about it for the night!"

"Aww but Tonks you will be fine. Sirius said you were one of the first in the family to receive six outstandings at NEWT level. Why are you so apprehensive about these exams?"

"Oh because Remus as you should know yourself these exams determine whether or not you are permitted to graduate as an auror. I am so scared that Ill mess it up."

"Oh don't be silly Tonks. You wont mess it up….."

"Ya and how do you know?"

"Well……because I have seen your incantations. They are pretty spectacular. You are a great auror…"

"No Remus…..Sirius is a great auror. I am just a trainee auror….."She droned with her head resting in one hand with her elbow supporting it.

"But you will be by March…."

"I sure hope so Remus." She sighs before sitting up and saying…..

"Okay look…..I am cool about the theory test but it's the practical exams that I am concerned about. I mean…..James is such an amazing teacher you know? But even he says that I need to work on my speed for defence spells…."

"Why what's the problem?" Remus asked concerned.

"Well its just that…..I don't anticipate the spell of my opponent until they say like the first syllable. According to James I shouldn't have to wait that long….."

"Well all it takes is practice Tonks….."

"Remus I have been at it for the best part of four years. I am never going to pass the training try outs…"

Remus reaches across the table and catches her hands in his saying……

"Tonks listen to me…..all you need is a little more practice. I know you will benefit from it so….why don't I help you?"

"Oh Remus that is sweet but I cant accept your offer. You are far too busy with organising classes, checking papers and not to mention assisting Harry with the dementors….."

"Okay well then why not ask Sirius or James?"

"What….? Remus no way. Look I appreciate the offer but Ill be fine….."

"That is not what you said five minutes ago….."She stared at him sourly so he continued….

"Come on Tonks…..Sirius is your cousin after all…"

"Yes and he has a family and a job to content with…"

"He won't mind helping you out you know that. James would be only delighted to help you….."

"Yes and he too has a family and job….."

"Oh Tonks if you are going to continue using this as an excuse to not seek help then you are not going to benefit from extra momentum. I will ask Sirius alright? I don't want to hear any arguments."

"Yes Professor Lupin…."She replied cynically as she smirked. Remus reciprocated it.

"So…..any news from Hogwarts?"

"Such as….."

"Oh I don't know….How about Harry and Lana. Are they still together or is Harry really like James and bagged her for number three?"

"Well I am glad that you said bagged instead of bedded…."They half laughed before Tonks asked….

"I thought you said that James and Sirius never slept with girls at Hogwarts…"

"They didn't….James and Lily waited until their wedding night….."

"Unlike Sirius……"

"Sirius did wait until he married Shari though…."

"Are you for real? The way he used act and talk about girls…."

"Oh no what I mean is that Shari wasn't his first time but they waited until the wedding night because that was her wish so….getting back to Harry. Yes he still with Lana but I cant see that lasting for much longer."

"Aww why not? I think that they make a lovely couple."

Do you really? I don't…..I feel that Harry is….well I just think that he can do better. I mean don't get me wrong, Lana is a sweet girl but I just…..I dont think she suits Harry. I feel that she is domineering actually."

"Domineering in what way?" She asked drinking some more beer.

"I just.……well when she is with Harry she expects him to just surpass his friends for her and focus solely on her. Its as though she has no time for his friends but he must for hers…."

"Really?" She exclaimed putting it down again. That's not the impression I got from her."

"Well it came from the horses mouth Tonks….. She is a little too insecure for my liking….

"OH MY GOD WE SAW HIM! WE JUST SAW HIM ON THE STREET! HE WAS PASSING BY ZONKOS!"

"What are you talking about Peadar?" Rose asked anxiously. Take a seat and tell me slowly what it is."

A middle aged wizard came bursting into the pub looking traumatized. Tonks and Remus started at him perplexed after exchanging anxious glances.

"George, Patrick and I were just passing Zonkos and we saw Peter Pettigrew. It was definitely him Rose. We saw him looking through the windows. But they were shut. He didn't see us but we think that he was after Sirius Black." The whole began muttering whilst Remus and Tonks jumped up and rushed upstairs to floo back and warn Sirius.

Well what did ya think? I hope ya liked it. Talk 2 ya later! Good night:) :) :)
